MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell s TV interview was interrupted by a man who reeled off a series of backhanded compliments for the Donald Trump -supporting conspiracy theorist.

In a video shared on Twitter, a man pretending to be a fan of Lindell approached as the pillow peddler talked into a camera and called out, Love you man, youre a true patriot, reported Mediaite .

Im live on TV right now, responded Lindell, who was wearing shorts with his suit jacket, shirt and tie.

Oh, Im sorry about that. Keep fighting man, the interrupter replied.

Dont let the libtards call you names. Dont let them call you an ethically dubious pillow pusher. Dont let them call you a marginally brain-addled corrupt goofball. Youre doing great. Dont let them call you names is what Im saying. Be strong. Dont let them push you around or call you names like completely clueless crazy old man who believes everything he sees on the internet. Dont let them call you names. Stay strong, youre doing great, Love you man.

Lindell is one of the highest-profile proponents of Trumps 2020 election lies.

Last week, he reportedly pulled millions of dollars worth of advertising from Fox News after the conservative network refused to air his latest spot promoting an online event about the conspiracy theories.

Lindell is also the subject of a $1.3 billion libel lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems over his election fraud claims. He has repeatedly predicted Trump will be reinstated as president in August.
